South Africa police Minister Bheki Cele is expected to host a public meeting with families of victims of serious violent crime in the Cape Metropole, Winelands and Worcester areas on Friday.

Western Cape police spokesperson Sergeant Noloyiso Rwexana said the objective of the meeting, to be held in Lavender Hill in Cape Town, is to discuss how to help affected families deal with the trauma suffered while ensuring that justice is served through finalising their cases.

She said the meeting would also discuss how to make communities safer through enhanced policing and building sound community relations.

Government departments and community-based organisations will be on hand to offer services as required.
